(((ALL SOLD)))
Ebony paddle strops two sided (flesh/fuzzy side up both sides)
I have a few paddle strops available, they are approx. 15" x 2.5" X .75". These are made by me one at a time from scratch, wood is cut into strips and then machine leveled. Handle shape is traced and cut to shape, hole drilled for lanyard and the handle edges are tapered on a router table. The area the leather is attached to is checked for level and if needed leveled on float glass with 3m abrasive. Two coats of ebony stain are added and then several coats of clear/shellac are sprays on afterwards to seal in the stain. A 550 para-cord lanyard with plastic end cap/keeper is also added. Leather used is cut from nice/clean European veg tan hide and is approx. 8-9oz in thickness, the leather is worked with a brush to free and loosen/soften up the nap and then it's trimmed to a nice even length. The compound is a harder tallow based compound, I prefer it over the wax or grease based compounds.
Will come with your choice of any (2) two bar compounds as shown in last pic. Black/white/green/red
Payment:
If you'd like a strop(s) please message me with your paypal info/email and I will send a money request/invoice. You can also contact me via email (email in signature below).
